What is a prompt? Asking AI a good question
Sample lesson from the Entrepreneurs Learning curve, "Asking a good question".
Prompt: the instruction or question you give to an AI tool.
A "prompt" is simply the instruction you give. The clearer your question, the more useful the answer. It is like a customer who wants "something quick" against a customer who says exactly what they need. Give context (for whom, what for), say what you want and give an example of the tone. Vague in is vague out, and then you lose more time polishing.
Take a question you asked recently and add three things: who it is for, how long it may be, and an example of the tone. Feel the difference in the answer.
